TECHNOLOGY SCOUTING
Each year, 1.000’s of new biotech startup companies are formed while 10.000’s of new life sciences technologies/products are being launched on the market.
Amidst a large background of existing technologies and established companies, it can be difficult to keep track whether any of these new technologies or companies are relevant for your company or institution.
How to systematically keep track of potentially new technology opportunities or competitive threats ?
Enigma Life Sciences has established technology scouting tools and processes which allow us to identify emerging life sciences technologies and companies highly relevant to a customer’s specified field of interest.
We are specialized in finding early stage, under the radar science and technology opportunities of high quality: we’ll provide you quickly and cost-effectively with unique technology leads which you won’t find through quick Google searches or in broad scope market analysis reports.
Moreover, the high quality of these technology leads can be a prime source of competitive advantage.
TECHNOLOGY VALUATION AND ACQUISITION
Once a high quality technology of interest is identified, a party may have an interest in acquiring it or obtaining a license to use the technology. At this point, it becomes crucial to put a value on the technology or IP, or in the case of a planned acquisition, the value of the company with the technology.
Valuation of intellectual property or emerging life sciences technologies tends to be very complex. We can assist in helping you to evaluate a realistic valuation for technologies or IP of interest to you, while at the same time providing guidance on the value of build or buy options.
In case of outright interest in company acquisition, we can perform a detailed analysis of the technology portfolio of the company of interest(including e.g. IP Value, market intelligence, competitor analysis etc…)
COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGY INTELLIGENCE AND STRATEGY
We can develop actionable technology intelligence on the competitive landscape of your environment using a variety of approaches.
Competitor IP analysis can reveal whitespaces for new product development.
We can also mine publicly available data sources (e.g. pricing, geo-enriched data sets) using big data technology to reveal new opportunities to price or distribute your products.
The results from our competitor technology intelligence analysis can help steer your competitive strategy to an optimal positioning.
